Attention Whores
I’ve come up with this term to describe all the people who apparently have no bottom to the depths they will go to get attention. I saw a listing of three of these in a paragraph from an American Thinker article on the Media Mob.
It’s not the media mob that are the whores - usually. They’re more often in the role of pimp for the attention whores.
From the fascinating article:
American Thinker: The Media Mob
Mass killers make up the most famous names in history: Attila the Hun, Caligula, Hitler, Napoleon. But few of the famous can claim to have saved lives. Perhaps Louis Pasteur, and of course many unknown scientists and inventors in medicine, agriculture and engineering. But who is celebrated by the Media Mob? Paris Hilton. Dan Rather. Hillary Clinton. The next Democrat for president. None of them have real achievements to their credit. None of them come within miles of Norman Borlaug. (emphasis added)
And, who is Norman Borlaug, you ask? Read the article to find out.
